Beta 2 should already run, actually, at least it has worked for one person on 8.1 in emulation where it did not previously.

Thank you all for the input! The nag screen and timer are actually done with the toolbox directly. It was simpler to do it that way since I don't think there's a simple to block startup in MacZoop without messing with features like opening a file by double clicking. There is indeed a lot of...

@bigmessowires Well done! I'm glad you had a bit of fun with it, and thanks for the write-up. I'm afraid it really is just a simple string compare, I hope you weren't too disappointed that it was so simple. I looked at a few methods, but most of what I could find discussed various algorithms to...

I don't think that's a fair conclusion at all! I'm far from an expert on this, but I think you're right that PPC is a lot harder to follow than 68k. I think the reason you're not seeing Toolbox calls is that they're wrapped in these stub libraries. Something about the Code Fragment Manager...

I found mentions of the same issue with missing ControlsLib and AppearanceLib in an old forum post (scammy looking site, maybe content harvested from UseNet). The suggested solution was to set the libraries to "Weak link" in Codewarrior, so I've done that and also flipped the define in MacZoop...

Yikes, thanks for trying. I wonder what those index errors could be.

Hello! As I've talked about in a few places, I've been teaching myself Mac programming and reactivating what little knowledge I had of C++ by making a to do list. It's very much one of those "we chose to do it not because it was easy, but because we thought it would be easy" things. A to do...

How about moving all the custom chips to a daughterboard, and then making a replacement daughterboard with a CPLD/FPGA? Then you'd be able to make new Macs.

I've been writing a thing with the MacZoop framework (which I'll release real soon now), I started a small article about it here: rven.se/maczoop. I have a few more notes and I'd also like to add an example project setup for CW5. All in all I'm quite happy with. I've worked through the...

I've got two of these I should do. Is there a list of how many and what type/size somewhere?

There is this: https://github.com/classilla/cryanc Although it looks like it's at an early stage as far as the Mac goes. It's based on a different TLS library than the Windows project linked. I don't know if it'd be easier to get WolfSSL to compile and turn that into something usable. But as...

I don't know but it's perfectly possible that the Mac driver only looks for the tablet at the ADB port, in which case you're out of luck.

Haha, might give that a try. For a 32x32 icon it seems like a lot of pressing enter, though.

For my todo list app, which targets OS 7-9, I'm looking for a few small, generic icons for a toolbar - a pencil icon, a wastebasket, and a checkmark, maybe one or two more. Short of just nicking some from an app I like, I wonder if there's somewhere I can look for pixel icons in an appropriate...

So with this I'd be able to keep a bunch of audio CDs on the SD card and play them with any Mac app that lets me play CDs? Even on old, slow models? That's pretty good. How do I change the CD, though?

Urgh! Hopefully now with AI you'll never have to read a book again... (Jokes!)

Greystash said above it's written in RealBasic 5.5, which is available on the Macintosh Garden. I've not used that myself, but as I understand it combines an approachable language with good support for making Mac-like UIs (as LegacyAI shows!). I personally have always heard bad things about...

Finally got a chance to try it out. This was also my first GPT session. I asked some programming questions, it was genuinely helpful explaining what a bit of PPC assembler did (line-by-line explanation and a summary). I did get some "confidently incorrect" answers in some cases, but I suppose...

That's pretty interesting! Well done. To be clear, you are running some sort of proxy, so all prompts go (in cleartext) via a server that you control, and from there to OpenAI's server? (Also, as someone who also dabbles in Mac coding, can I ask how it's made? Compilers, frameworks etc.?)

Interesting! First I've heard of it, do update us if you find out more.
